President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed decrees No. 102/2026 and 103/2026, which imposed sanctions against 66 individuals and 62 legal entities. Among them are citizens and residents of Russia, Hong Kong, Kyrgyzstan and the UAE.
The first decree is directed against companies and individuals associated with Russian military-industrial enterprises. In total, it includes 24 individuals and 27 legal entities. The second decree concerns those who, according to the Ukrainian authorities, are helping Russia circumvent the sanctions imposed by Ukraine, the European Union and the United States. These are 42 individuals and 35 legal entities.
The Ukrainian authorities have announced that some of the sanctioned companies will be included in the 20th package of EU sanctions against Russia, which may be adopted at the end of February.
Among the sanctioned companies are:
- A7-Technologies, A7-Kyrgyzstan, and A7-Broker companies related to the A7A5 cryptocurrency (a stablecoin launched in February in Kyrgyzstan and pegged to the Russian ruble);
- Limited Liability Company “Zvezda Design Bureau”, the manufacturer of self-developed supercomputer platforms, including those based on Elbrus processors;
- VTB Bank (PJSC) Shanghai Branch
“We systematically identify and add to the sanctions lists all those who produce weapons for Russia and finance the supply of components,” said Vladyslav Vlasyuk, Adviser to the President of Ukraine on sanctions policy.
